Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Optional: Serve with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
